New Content

New Champion

  •  Officer Backup
  •  Manaflow

New Constellation

• 5Vi
  •  Crush
  •  Manaflow
  • • Along with getting a new constellation, Vi also had her 1 and 3 star powers changed
      • Game Designer's Note : We thought Vi’s 1st and 3rd star powers were a bit bland, so we are now making them activate whenever you draw a card rather than on round start. This means they will activate at least once per round, like before, but you have the chance to make them happen multiple times in a round by drawing extra cards, which her deck does very well.
